5-a-side games.

GuanYin

Just out of curiosity, who would be on for meeting weekly for 5/7 aside games in the evenings in Dublin?

Would probably cost 5 Euro a head to rent a pitch somewhere.

If we got enough people we could even think about a boards.ie mini league.

Post here:

LegacyUser

I definitely would as long as it is not miles away like Tallaght or something. UCD astro pitches are pretty damn good.

Raskolnikov

Sounds like a grand old idea, down in Cork though.

Guy:Incognito

I'd definately be interested. I live in tallaght but could travel if its not too far, I play in a hall njust off the north cirular road on a sat evening and in ringsend on sunday evening. so any other day would be fine. I work till 6 in town so 7 or after would probably be a good time.

Amz

If you're letting girls play then I'd love to join in.

thejollyrodger

I'll bail down and play if your bring girlies and show you how ireland made a tradgic mistake and missed playing me alongside robbie

As Long as your good enough your man enough (in a manner of speaking no offence)

You're second on "the list" that'll give you a proper excuse for your lack of an international career.

GuanYin

Thats 5 so far, surely more takers than that for a healthy sport?

See if we can get all the soccer mods to for a team

That might make things quite interesting.

Guy:Incognito

I'm shocked people, everyone seems to be great at TALKING about playing football or about football in general, five people are willing to get up and play.

DapperGent

I'd have a go. I have the unfit though. Would take me quite a while to get to the stage where I wasn't collapsing after a light jog.

GuanYin

Well its a good way to get fit really, but it should cater for everyone no matter how unfit, unskilled/female they are

Guy:Incognito

c'mon folks dont be afraid to commit yourselves. this almost looks like it could come together.

Amz

Syke maybe if you promised to wear shorts there'd be more of an interest?

BKtje

As long as i can get to it id love it. Im fit enough on the old bike but the second my fit touch the ground im as unfit as the next guy

Good thing im usually stuck in nets

Id love o play as long as it aint too far

StickyMcGinty

count me in... as long as its north side rules....

PHB

Count me in definally.
If you want I can rent out the astro turf in Trinty
I think its like 30 quid an hour

Lafortezza

Depending on location I'd be interested.

GuanYin

Ok, we're talking Dublin City, so maybe UCD or even better Trinity if PHB can pull it off.

So far we have
Syke
cheesedude
stekelly
amz
Dappergent
B-k-Dzr
VinnyL
PHB
Lafortezza


Anyone else?

Dewey

I would be up for a game, but where is it going to be played??? i would like to know the location because it might be hard to get too for me.

PHB

I'll be in college on thursday, I'll check it out, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to have non-students in, I think I am though.

StickyMcGinty

i'll round up a few mates if we're short no prob

mayordenis

count me in from the start of the college year as ill be in dublin for now im in waterford up the deise.

_blank_

Would deffo be up for this, I'm more than a tad on the unfit side, but I'd love the chance to get out and kick a ball again.

Let's do this thing.

StickyMcGinty

LETS DO THIS MOTHER!!!!

want jerseys?

midget lord

i'll play too. Only thing is thursday and weekends are the only days that suit me.

BKtje

A centra; Dublin location is probably the best. Trinity would really be ideal

You want us to play football in a convenience store?

They might have something to say about that

[craig bellamy mode]I'll have to review my position, I can't sit on the bench, I won't do it[/craig bellamy mode]

honeymonster

Me and me mate would be up for that especially if its trinity

mayordenis

how would the teams be decided and things like that??

seedings based on past performances , and 2 players from the same club could not be on the same team .

mayordenis

but that would be rediculous as i play for villa in waterford im an unknown quantity.

Amz

I would imagine a lot of it will depend on who shows up on the day, if this is to become a regular thing there will probably be different people there on different nights.

Not sure what Syke had in mind, but for now there's no point in worrying about that 'til we get more people signed up.

Guy:Incognito

it could be seede according to each persons opinion on how good they are.

never mind any of that, just didve the people who turn up in two teams, adjust the teams if they seem unfair during the game, then keep the same team the week after, always adjusting if theyre unfair until you have 2 regular teams to make it competitive. I find playing against the same 5 every week makes it more competitive, your like, oh them bastards beat us last week we have to win this week, so its more fun!


Id play if i lived in dublin

talla

I'll be the first mod brave enough to throw my hat into the ring. Havent played in over a year due to shin splints, operation on back, dislocated shoulder etc etc. I think you get the picture, I'm a tad injury prone. Centre of town round 7ish would be perfect.

Amz

G'man talla

Any day really suits me before college starts back.

Big Ears

don't be afraid to put you're studs into talla's shins you're shoulder into his shoulder , and you're elbow into his back .

If that dosen't work push him .

Id play if I lived in Dublin , I may be young but ive more talent than most of ya's

V1llianous

I might be interested, depends on the location though !

Beat me to it man, only I was going to say Darren!

Welly welly welly welly welly welly well, a mod is coming out?

And the newest one at that, perhaps the others know something he don't?

midget lord

once the soccer starts we can make this beating a regular thing

BaZmO*

You can put me down too. Just finished the Summer 5 a side league in Tallaght last Friday. Our Team won the plate championship!!
I was the only player to play in every game which I was WELL pleased with.
We all got pretty cool medals too.
Anyway, enough waffling, I'm in!

B.

***edit - Forgot to say, I have a set of bibs that we can use, and belive me we'll need them especially because we don't know each other.

midget lord

we also have to learn eachothers real names as i dont intend on responding to midget lord in public!

Amz

You're still going to be called midget lord y'know

My mam even calls me Amz at this stage.

talla

I've had more comebacks than Stan Collymore and Gazza put together at this stage!!

Shaque attack

i'd b up 4 it once college starts again. ucd would be very handy round 7 or 8 especially if we needed to book more than one pitch but in town would probably be the handiest for everyone.
